Deuteronomy 4
1 Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
Tun, Israel miten danthu kahil jouseu phatah in ngaiyun, Pakai, Pathen in napu, napateu khanga pat napehnau gam nalhun thei nadiu le agama nachen thei nadiu ahi.
2 You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
Kathupeh a kon in ngaisah louna ima neihih hel uvin. Pakai, Pathen akona ka thupeh chengse hi phatah a najui diu ahi.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.
Baapeor muna Pakaiyin nangho dinga ichangeiya na atoh namusoh keiyun ahi. Hiche muna chun Pakai, Pathen in Baal doi hou jouse abonchan asugam sohkeiye.
4 But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive to this day, every one of you.
Hinlah Pakai, Pathen tahsan a thua nung jouse, tuni chan in nabon chauvin nadam nalaiyun ahi.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
Vetan, Pakai, Pathen akona juiding dan hichengse hi nangho dinga thupeh ahi. Ajeh chu hichengse hi gamsung nalut teng uleh phatah a najui kimsoh kei diu ahi.
6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Hichengse hi najui uva ahileh, na kimvel uva cheng nam dangte sanga athem leh achinga naum diu ahi. Hitobang nunle khan ahin jahdoh teng uleh, hiche nam mite hi datmah umtah in aching lheh uve tia asei diu ahi!
7 For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen ikom cha uva aum jing banga, eiho Pathen tobang nam dang ten anei khah ngai em?
8 And what nation is great enough to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?
Hitobanga chu keiman jong na masang uva ka koipeh danthu hijatpi hi, kicheh tah’a ka koipeh banguva koi dang nam in hitobang anei khah ngai em?
9 Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
Ijeh inem itileh vetan! Nanghon namit tah uva namu chan uchu nahaimil lou diu ahi. Hiche hi na damsung uva nalung thim uva kona na jamdoh sah lou diu ahi! Natu na chate changeiya achin jing diu ahi.
10 The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, “Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children.”
Chule Pakai, Pathen in Sinai mol chunga adin nikhoa ka henga thu asei chu na haimil lou diu ahi. Mipi ho abonchan ka henga hinpuiyin, keiman ijakai kahil diu ahi. Chutileh amahon keima gin ding dan ahet uva, atu acha khang gei uva jong keima eigin jing diu ahi.
11 You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
Nangma mol chunga na keng in nahung ding in, Molchung vum jouse meibol in atom in chuin mu athim lhatan ahi.
12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.
Chuin Pakaiyin nangma henga thu aseiyin, meikong in akilah in, Ama awgin chu najan ahinlah tahmel in namupoi; ajeh chu awgin bou najah ahi.
13 He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—the Ten Commandments that He wrote on two tablets of stone.
Pakaiyin kitepna asem in, Thupeh som nanit jing diuvin thupeh aneiyin, songpheng ni chunga ajihdoh in ahi.
14 At that time the LORD commanded me to teach you the statutes and ordinances you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Hiche muna chun Pakaiyin thupeh aneiyin, nangho gamsung nalut kon teng uleh danthu najui diuvin abonchan eihil in ahi.
15 So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb, be careful
Hijeh chun nangho ching theiyun! Sinai mol chunga Pakaiyin najah uva thu asei nikho chun, nanghon tahmel in namu pouve.
16 that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
Hijeh chun nanghon milim doi numei leh pasal lima semthu a-angsunga na bokhup uva na kisuhboh louhel diu,
17 of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,
gancha hihen chung leng vacha hijongleh,
18 or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below.
tol-lhang lah a ganhing hihen, twipi noiya um ganhing limsem thu kitiphot angsunga na bohkhup lou diu ahi.
19 When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Chunglang vea lha, ahsite chule vanthamjola thil ho jong bohkhup a akin bol ding na ngaito louhel diu ahi. Hichengse khu aboncha Pakai, Pathen in leiset a cheng mihemte apeh ahi.
20 Yet the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of His inheritance, as you are today.
Ajeh chu nangho hi Pakai, Pathen in Egypt gamsung meilhum lah’a kiloidoh a Pathen dei tum mong mong dinga tunia hi nasemu ahin, hichu nasuhmil lou diu ahi.
21 The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Hinlah nangho jeh in Pakai ka henga alungphamo tan. Pakaiyin kitepna asem in keima Jordan vadung galkaiya, keima hiche gamsunga khu kalut thei lou ding ahitai.
22 For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
Keima khela hiche gamsung lodinga Jordan vadung nagal kai diu ahi. Keima vang hiche solam vadung pama hi thiden ding kahi tai.
23 Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.
Hijeh chun chingthei un Pakai, Pathen in kitepna napeh hou aboncha najui kimsoh kei diu ahi. Pathen doumah milim doi sem ding gohih un, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen dinga doumah umtah ahi.
24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Pakai, Pathen hi meikong a kilahji ahin; thangtomna aneiji ahi.
25 After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form—doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger—
Ahung lhung ding phat hoa, tu le cha nahin neiyuva gam sunga na hung chen teng uleh, milim doi kiti sema a-angsunga na bohkhup louhel diu ahi. Hitobang thil hi Pakai dinga thet umtah leh Pakai lunghan na ahi.
26 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.
Tuna van leh leiset kasan hi nangho hettohsahna ding ahi. Ka kitepna na suhkeh uva ahileh, Jordan vadung galkaiya gamsunga na hetman lou uva na manthah jeng diu ahi. Hinkho chomcha bou nanei diu; hetman louva thinan na lhunden diu ahi.
27 Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
Ajeh chu nam dangte lah a Pakaiyin nathe cheh diu, lhom cha bouvin gamsung nalo diu ahi.
28 And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
Hiche muna chu, gamdang mite lah a milim doi song le thinga kisem thu, ima jathei lou, muthei lou ho kin nabol diu ahi.
29 But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Chuteng Pakai, Pathen nahin hol kit diu, nalung thim pumpiuva nahin hol teng uleh namu bep diu ahi.
30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.
Ahung lhung ding phat hoa, hitobang din muna naum uva gim genthei nan nalhun den teng uleh, Pakai, Pathen angsung nahin bel diu, Pakai thusei jouse nangai diu ahi.
31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.
Ajeh chu na Pakaiyu, Pathen uhi ngailutna a dim jeng ahin; na lung na heija Pakai lam nahin bel teng aman na damsah ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, napu napateu khang apat akitepna ageldoh jing in ahi.
32 Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
Tun leiset ahung kisem apat tuchana Pathen in ichangeiya mihemte akhohsah ham, ti thusimle vanthamjola ijakai jouse kholdoh uvin. Hitobang thil ki dang hohi najah a namu khah uvem?
33 Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
Nanghon meikonga Pathen akilah a, awgin najah bang uva nam dang ten hitobang thil kidang atokhah tah uvem?
34 Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
Pathen dang in nampi khat gim hesoh na a kon apui doh a, thil kidang ijakai aki lahsah gal asat peh, ban thahat pana kithopina, ki dang tah a na-atohna um kha tam? Ahinlah nangho Pakai, Pathen in Egypt gam naum lai uva anatoh ijakai na musoh kei tauvin ahi.
35 You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
Pakaiyin ijakai na muchen sah tauve, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen tobang dang umlou ahi.
36 He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.
Pakaiyin vana kon in awgin na jahsah uvin, thupeh ijakai aneiyin ahi. Pakai meikonga akilah in nang ho nahou piu vin ahi.
37 Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin napu napateu angailun chule a chilhahte changei phatthei aboh ahi. Pakaiyin abanthahat apan in, Egypt gam'a kona nahin pui galkaiyu ahitai.
38 to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
Nangho ding in namdangte gamlha tah in achon doh in, Pakaiyin nangho chenna ding gamnom tah na peuvin, tunin na cheng tauvin ahi.
39 Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
Hijeh achu hiche hi na geldoh jing diu leh na lungthim uva na chin jing diu ahi: Pakai, Pathen hi vana jong leiset a jong Pathen ahin, Pathen dang ama tobang aumpoi.
40 Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
Tunia ka thupeh chengse aboncha na juikim soh keiyuva ahileh, ijakai phacham kimsoh kei ding nachateu changeiya phatthei chang diu ahi. Imatih chana gam sunga kipah leh lungmonga nachen diu, na hinkhou asotna dinga Keiman thupeh hichengse aboncha kapeh nahiuve.
41 Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east
Chuin Mose’n khopi thum solam Jordan vadunga kichol nading in atung doh in ahi.
42 to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities:
Koi tobang'in mihem khat alam louva atha a, suhna ding beiya auma ahileh, ama chu hiche muna hi jamlut ding ahinkho aki huhdoh ding ahi.
43 Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites.
Khopi thum hochu: Bezer kiti gamthip lah a hichu Reuben in sunga ding; Ramoth kiti Gilead muna hichu Gad in sunga ding; Golan kiti Bashan muna hichu Manasseh insunga ding ahi.
44 This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.
Thupeh hichengse hi Mose’n Israel mite henga aseipeh ahi.
45 These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,
Hichengse hi danthu jui ding’a Mose’n Israel miten Egypt gam adalhah uva apeh,
46 while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
Beth-peor toh kinai solam Jordan vadung phaicham ngahmun aum laiyuva apeh ahi. Phat masa chun hiche gam hi Amor mite lengpa Sihon in Hesbon muna kona ana vaipoh ahi. Hinlah Egypt gam'a kona Mose leh Israel mite ahung doh uchun ana sugam hel tauvin ahi.
47 They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—
Chuin Israel miten Bashan lengpa Og lalna gam leh anei agou jouse achom chai keiyuvin, solama Amor mite leng teni jaona ahi.
48 extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
Israel miten Aroer apat Arnon Gorge chule Sirion mol Hermon tiajong kihe changeiyin ajousoh hel tauve.
49 including all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
Chuin amahon solam gamkai Jordan vadung pang leh, lhanglam San dung changeiyin ajousoh uvin, Pisgah noilam changei ahi.
